I was just scrolling through eBay and found this listing. Looks like a grading company in Aus gives a report on why each card gets a certain grade. I know logistically it would be very hard at the volume PSA grades but wouldn’t it be great! Even if it was only for cards that are under a higher grading service.

Currently on business day 79 for my PSA cards and still no grades.
If they did this it would take 6,5 years at least
That’s just absolutely mental.
Yet there are people here that’ll argue that others using the exact same service level getting their cards back in 5 days is a completely fair system…
I wish everybody here would use their service;)
Did you send them in yourself or thru a service?
It would be great for PSA to offer it, at least for an extra fee!
I can see why some people might want it, but it would be a mess for me. I imagine having thousands of reports to stack with thousands of cards, then having to find the right report to go with the right card once selling or trading the card on.
On a side note, the condition of that card is very poor for a 88/100 ‘mint card’. It looks like a PSA 6-7, so clearly a report doesn’t equal a good grading company or accurate grade.
I think people would want this to remove a layer of objectivity. Because if there is a detailed report, there is an explanation for why a card got the grade. However, having this system in place doesn’t do that. It’s still down to personal human opinion and some people will either include or miss something off the report, or deem it to be either negligible or significant to the grade if they do include it.
I think the Beckett subgrades are a much better medium between something like this and a “no breakdown” grade like PSA gives. This gets a bit too messy and I also imagine it would severely cut into their time and margin as a company.
It was 79 business days since they were registered into their system if that was your question, I did use a middleman service so that cost me extra time aswell but that was expected haha. 79 business since registering onto their system is just absurd
Don’t worry man, I’m confident you’ll get them back before the year is out! Santa may even bring them on Christmas day if you’re lucky 
PSA also grades more in a day than this AUS company as a whole (they’ve graded ~1400 cards). I too think Beckett’s sub grades would be optimal but I don’t think PSA will change their ways
Exactly! This is only doable if you have low volume.
In general I think it is overkill. Perhaps it would be cool as a payable option for those who wanted a full breakdown. For me personally I wouldn’t need the paper.
It’d definitely be cool if PSA would add subgrades or at least some kind of grade report that you can pull up with the cert #. Maybe there would be generic checkboxes that could be ticked by someone for what issues the card had that prevented from a 10. My collection is 95% 9’s and some of them just look so good I honestly don’t know where they were docked. So when searching the cert I could find scratches, edgewear, whitening or some kind of box ticked.
Back to the company in the OP, instead of typing out which looks really ugly and takes a long time to read it seems this company could have just had a image of a card blank and then a list of damage types. I could see something like
1-whitening
2-crease
3-debris
4-stain
5-scratch
etc.
and then just on the card blank they’d drop numbers inside of a circle where the damage lays like a map. That’d look pretty cool IMO but again very impractical unless small scale and charging decently for the service.
Yeh some type of checkbox would be a good idea. Anything that would make the grading a bit more transparent would be helpful.
